The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. If that matchup sounds familiar that’s because it is — the Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII in February 2023.

Kansas City is looking to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC championship game to reach the Super Bowl for the fifth time in six seasons.

Philadelphia advanced to the Super Bowl after defeating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC championship game. The Eagles are trying to win their first Super Bowl title since defeating Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of the 2017 season.

Super Bowl LIX is scheduled to start on Feb. 9 at 3:30 p.m. PST. The opening kickoff typically takes place around 3:40 p.m. Several pregame activities, including the singing of the national anthem and player introductions will start before 3:30 p.m.

Super Bowl LIX will be broadcast by Fox (channel 11 in the Los Angeles market). It also will be available for streaming on Tubi. The game will air in Spanish on Fox Deportes.

Fox’s lead NFL broadcast team of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will call the game. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will be the sideline reporters.

Lamar won’t be alone on stage. SZA also will be performing and it’s possible additional special guests will take part in the show.

“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said in a statement upon being announced as the headline performer for the halftime show. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”

The bulk of the NFL’s playoff overtime rules were implemented in 2010, with one change approved by the league’s competition committee last spring that allows for both teams to possess the ball at least once before a winner can be determined.

The change was made following renewed scrutiny of playoff overtime rules after the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC divisional playoff win over the Buffalo Bills in January 2022. Prior to the possession rule change, 10 of the 11 playoff games that went to overtime under the post-2010 overtime rule changes were won by the team that received the ball first.

Here’s a breakdown of the playoff overtime rules:

• A coin flip determines which team receives the opening kickoff.
  
• Each team will have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once before a winner is determined.
  
• Teams play 15-minute periods until there’s a winner.
  
• If the score is tied after each team’s first possession, the next score by either team (touchdown, field goal or safety) will win the game.
  
• There are no coach challenges, with all reviews being initiated by the replay official.
  
• Each team gets three timeouts per half (two overtime periods).
  
• If there is no winner after the fourth overtime period, there will be another coin toss before play resumes.
